PBIS Part 1 of 2 PBIS Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports

Did schools stop teaching kids HOW to behave, and is PBIS the modern fix we've been missing? Part 1 of 2 PBIS Positive Behavioral Interventions and SupportsWHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS PODCAST- How "Citizenship" was once a graded subject in U.S. schools- Why schools stopped teaching and grading student behavior- How NCLB and standardized testing reshaped school priorities- What PBIS is and how it works as a school-wide framework- The three tiers of PBIS support: Universal, Targeted, Intensive- Why PBIS is the only behavior approach named in federal law (IDEA)In the 1950s, elementary report cards included a "Citizenship" grade that evaluated behavior, respect, responsibility, and participation, separate from academics. Over the following decades, a shift toward standardized testing, STEM prioritization, funding cuts, and political pressure gradually pushed this holistic approach out of schools. Today, PBIS, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, has emerged as the evidence-based successor. Rather than simply punishing misbehavior, PBIS proactively teaches behavioral expectations across three tiers of support, using data-driven decisions, positive reinforcement, and culturally responsive practices to create safer, more effective learning environments for all students.Learn more about PBIS Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports by visiting:https://kidlaw.org/2026/03/07/pbis-positive-behavioral-interventions-and-supports/Kidlaw Official Website - https://Kidlaw.orghttps://www.youtube.com/@KidlawACNJ
